I can think of more romantic ways to break the news but yesterday saw Pete Burns and his now fiance Michael Simpson showing off their diamonte skull rings and announcing their engagement live on Richard and Judys Channel 4 show.

Pete told Richard and Judy: “We’ve been together in a former life.

“I lost him a lifetime ago and I’ve been looking for him ever since. He’s a physical part of me.�

The celebrity big brother contestant said of the jewellery: “It symbolises that underneath all this there is bone and underneath that is soul.�

However Michael did seem to be sporting a bit of a black eye at the time, I wonder if Pete had to beat him into the decision!
